Proximity queries, i.e. distance computations and closely related collision detection problems, are ubiquitous in robotics, design automation, manufacturing, assembly and virtual prototyping. The set of tasks include motion planning, sensor-based planning, assembly and disassembly planning, tolerance verification, maintainability study, simulation-based design, and ergonomic analysis. In this talk, I will survey a few recent advances in collision queries and proximity computations. I will present several new algorithms and software systems for these problems. In particular, I will describe complementary approaches for collision detection between deformable bodies and geometric models with high complexity and details. I will further highlight the design of scalable algorithms for these problems by taking advantages of parallelism available on emerging commodity hardware, such as graphics processor units (GPUs) and many-core architectures. I demonstrate the applications of these techniques on cloth simulation, liver chemoembolization, character animation, and haptic rendering. I will conclude by discussing our experiences and some future research directions. - Comments
